One of my children (probably my second daughter, Miranda) drew this baby Jesus decades ago. I display this card, which also includes Mary and Joseph, each Christmas. It’s a reminder of the reason I celebrate Christmas and a reminder of how very much I love my three children. They each signed the card. It’s a treasure.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
MY DEAR READERS, I wish for you this Christmas the blessings of peace and happiness.
Wherever you are this weekend and with whomever, may you experience joy. Appreciate others. Hold close those you love most. Be thankful for them.
Realize that everything and everyone will not be perfect. So laugh instead of stressing. You’ll feel better.
Relax and delight in the moments—the hug of a son come home, the sweet scent of a baby on her first Christmas, the gathering of family at worship services and around your table.
These are the moments that matter. Merry Christmas!
